Chapter 83 Target·The Kingdom of Water
Chapter 83 Target:
The next day in the Kingdom of Water.
Before Giyuu left, he went to Minagawa Shrine, placed incense sticks in front of the memorial tablets of Uchiha Enhuo and Uchiha Fumi, and placed magatama-engraved stones as tributes.
"Wen...if your death is also related to Orochimaru, who likes to study blood successors..."
In the empty shrine hall, Giyuu's cold and stiff prayers echoed.
"Please guide me so that I can capture him on this trip."
To be fair, Yiyong is not the type to ask for help from the power in the dark.
But the white monster caught by Purgatory Anjuro before was most likely the thing that followed Shisui in the Land of Rain.
Ordinary perception methods are useless against them. Only Anjuro uses the chakra of Kyuubi to use the Kagura Heart Eye to find each other through malice.
In the past three years, Anjuro has caught four in total - two in the Land of Rain and two in Konoha, but those things are not human. The interrogation by ANBU has been fruitless, and the illusion is ineffective. They can only talk about shit and shit. If the class is irrelevant, it will not contribute any useful information.
But according to what the Third Hokage said on the surface, the monster was most likely a spy created by Orochimaru. In the entire ninja world, he is probably the most likely person to do such a thing.
In addition, Orochimaru had attacked Itachi before and was very eager for the Sharingan. Therefore, Giyuu reasonably speculated that the last time he cooperated with Konoha's spy Li Yingwai to kill Enhuo, it was probably him and one of his people. Experimental product equipped with Sharingan.
In addition, Itachi's blood disease, as well as the ongoing massacre of blood ninjas and civilians in the Kingdom of Water, are somewhat related to this man named Orochimaru, so Giyuu has included him as a secondary target for this trip. .
There is a high probability that as long as Orochimaru is caught, the name of Konoha's traitor is forced out, and the evidence is obtained, the souls of Wen and Yanhuo will be able to rest in peace.
Three years!
Jiyong could see that Shisui was more eager to settle the matter and didn't take this matter too seriously.
Because this matter involved the village's spies, that is, the mysterious Genbe and Shimura Danzo, Shisui even did not want to investigate further, so as not to break the still good relationship between the village and Uchiha.
Itachi was not familiar with the two deceased people and had no motive to pursue them.
Therefore, the only one left who has been chasing after him is Yiyong.
"This matter should come to an end."
After saying the last sentence, Yiyong turned around with a stern face and walked out of the inner hall of the shrine.
In the wide yard, except for the old man who had been responsible for cleaning the shrine, only Sasuke was squatting under the tree and looking at something.
Giyuu said to Sasuke: "Let's go."
"Wait a minute, look here."
Sasuke waved to him, and Giyuu walked over. This was the last time he came here. There were many magatama carvings sandwiched in the stone slab. place. The last time he came, there were only four magatama carvings sandwiched in the gap, but now there are only three more.
In other words, in the past three years, the people who placed sacrifices here have only come three times, and the frequency has greatly reduced.
"Why do people put sacrifices in this place?"
Sasuke asked with some confusion.
Just when Yiyong wanted to say that this had nothing to do with them, he heard the old man sweeping the floor speak: "I wanted to ask the question you asked a few years ago. The seventh tribute just appeared this morning. I I was sleeping in the yard next door, but I didn't hear any sound last night..."
"What a weirdo."
Sasuke muttered and stood up, "Don't the clan members he worshiped be enshrined on the spiritual tablets inside? ?"
"Tsk, it's possible."
The old man sweeping the floor answered Sasuke's question.
"There is only such a big place inside. Only clan members who have become ninjas have independent spiritual places. A useless old man like me will only have the name tag hanging inside after death. There is no way to enjoy the tribute alone."
"Ah? Since you are not a ninja, you have no spiritual status..."
Sasuke's face turned pale and he quickly looked at Giyu: "Then you and my brother--"
"You think too much."
Giyu comforted Sasuke wordlessly.
However, before walking out of the yard, he still awkwardly walked up to the old man sweeping the floor and said something serious, whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"If you die, I will do the same thing and pay you a tribute."
[Xing Julang said that you must consider the problem from the other person's perspective. ]
[He must be very sad knowing that there will be no tribute after his death. ]
After saying that, Yiyong left the old man speechless and gasping for air, and walked away with Sasuke who had a slap on his face.
On the way home, Sasuke saw the lake outside the clan that was refilled with water, and poked Giyuu's arm, "Did you do that when you went out last night?" "
Yes." Giyuu nodded. This was the last time he and Shisui met last night. After meeting each other, I filled it up with water escape when I came back.
After all, children of the same clan practicing fire escape in other places can easily cause fires. It's just a pity that all the fish inside have been cooked before, so it would be more appropriate to buy some new fry and put them in...
"It's amazing!"
Looking at the satisfied lake surface, Sasuke sincerely admired, but immediately wrinkled his nose again, He said to Yiyong: "But don't be complacent. Even if your water style is strong and your fire style is better than mine, I still have the innate thunder attribute chakra! Sooner or later, my water style will be as strong as yours." !"
[Obviously they are twins, there is no reason why there is such a big gap. ]
Sasuke is confident in himself.
Thanks to Anjuro's chicken soup for more than three years, Sasuke almost recovered from the shock he suffered yesterday.
Because their parents and brothers had already said goodbye, the two of them did not go home. They walked to the gate on the west side of Konoha together -
that was the only formal exit of the village. Whether going to the east or west, they had to start from there.
When they arrived, Sasuke snorted, because Purgatory Anjuro and Naruto, who had similar hair color and looked like brothers, were already waiting there, chatting eagerly.
"Oh, Giyu! Sasuke! Have you had lunch?!"
Before they could answer, Anjuro held Naruto's shoulders and shared enthusiastically: "I had lunch at Naruto's house! Although the name is because of I forgot about Taicho, but I always feel very domineering! The taste is also very unforgettable!"
"Hehe!"
Naruto first touched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly, and then immediately came to Giyuu's side with a somewhat complaining tone. : "Yiyong, why didn't you tell me personally that you were leaving the village?"
"Who are you?! Even if I am Giyu's brother, I only found out about it yesterday afternoon!"
Sasuke raised his eyebrows and immediately attacked him.
"Oh~ Then you are such a failure as a brother. Even what Giyuu wants to do can only be known the day before."
Naruto narrowed his fox eyes and said sarcastically with a vague smile: "Yesterday When Anjuro came to my house for dinner at noon, I heard him talk about this matter, a little earlier than you, my 'brother'."
Speaking of which, at lunch yesterday, both Hinata and Anjuro were there. In his family, Hinata's sister was also a very good eater, so in the end, Naruto himself didn't have enough to eat.
However, seeing everyone enjoying the lunch he prepared was enough to make him happy enough to take off.
Most importantly, thanks to the arrival of Anjuro who acted as a glue, Hinata Hanabi, who was originally critical of Naruto, also agreed to come to his house for lunch with her sister every day from now on.
Well, he just has to find a way to make some money like Anjuro. Otherwise, Hinata would be like today today, carrying two big baskets of vegetables to the door, and she would always feel that something was weird...
"Damn it! Don't think that just because you can cook is a big deal! You act like a girl all day long. Let's see who will do it later. I will marry you!"
"Hey, didn't you scold Yiyong?"
"Don't count Yiyong! He looks almost exactly like me! He is much prettier than you, and there is no need to worry about finding a wife. !"
"But since you think I'm ugly, isn't Brother Xingjuro about the same as me? It turns out you..." "
Ahhhhhh! You have hair on your face! Shut up!"
"Slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly. ! The one with horns on his head! I won't!"
Looking at the familiar daily operations of the two, Yiyong walked to Xingjulang expressionlessly, who was still smiling.
"How is it?"
Giyong asked something that only Anjuro could understand.
"Last night, I slept with Naruto!"
Anjuro said this after making sure that Naruto and Sasuke were chasing each other away, so as not to make Sasuke even more angry.
"One whole night, I borrowed 2% of Nine Lama's chakra from Naruto!"
[Huh? ]
Yiyong turned his head unexpectedly: "Isn't it a bit small?"
"According to Nine Lama himself, 1% of it is equivalent to several elite Jonin! I use the shadow clone to call Nine Lama out, and it will Turn into a little fox and hide in you! This will save more money!"
Xingjuro calculated confidently: "Although the shadow clone will consume chakra even talking, if nothing happens on the way, it will 1%, enough to last for ten days and a half! The only thing I'm worried about is..."
Speaking of this, he specially warned: "Yiyong, remember what I said before, and think from each other's standpoint! The Nine Lamas also have Your own thoughts and consciousness are not animals driven entirely by instinct! So you must not treat him as a ghost!"
[What is a ghost? ]
Kyuubi, who could hear the conversation between the two through the tailed beast chakra, turned over in confusion.
Yiyong thought for a while: "If he doesn't take the initiative to hurt others, I won't do anything to him." "
That's good! The Nine Lamas will also restrain themselves, right?!"
The chakra in Xingjuro's abdomen vibrated unwillingly. For a moment.
At this time, Naruto and Sasuke were scolded by the two special jonin guarding the gate for disturbing the order by chasing them in front of the gate, and came back in disgrace.
The two of them turned their heads away and looked in two completely different directions.
Anjuro called the two of them in front of him: "Sasuke, Naruto, just send them here! If I can't come back for a long time, I will write to you and ask to be brought to you!" The people
shuttled back and forth in the sky. The crow called twice at the right time.
"Giyu said that he will be back before school starts..."
Sasuke looked at Anjuro steadily, with deep reluctance in his eyes, "Brother, will you be gone for a long time? I heard that you won't come to school next semester. "
I'm not sure yet! But I will definitely miss you!"
His eyes were blazing, and he said to Naruto and Sasuke at the same time: "Don't forget to exercise during your vacation! People who are in good health, worry about it There will be a lot less! Don't think too much about possible things, focus on reality, and live every day to the fullest! In this way, I don't have to worry about you anymore!"
"Got it!" X2.
"Okay! I'm very energetic! Then let's set off, Yiyong. We will be separated at the intersection ahead!"
Yiyong nodded, turned around and left without saying goodbye.
"Wait a minute!"
Sasuke suddenly stopped him, took out a scroll from his pocket, and handed it to Giyuu with doubtful eyes.
Giyu: "Is this?"
"There are exams before school starts, so don't forget to review."
Sasuke was obviously speaking seriously, but his face didn't know why, and he was clearly squirming, as if he was doing something bad.
"I put some of the books you often read on your bookshelf, as well as the textbooks from the previous school year! Don't take it too easy while you're on vacation!"
Giyuu was a little confused. Sasuke really thought he was going to Yuzuki. It's a national game.
[How can I have time to read...]
However, seeing how embarrassed Sasuke was and hesitated to speak, he still accepted the scroll and put it in his pocket: "I know."
With that, he and Anjuro set foot on the road. the way out.
After the two of them were far away, Naruto put on an indescribable expression: "It's not relaxing to go on vacation. Didn't you deliberately make him unhappy? Wait, why are you laughing so disgustingly? "
In Naruto's eyes, Sasuke was staring at the righteous man with a thief smile, as if the bad guys in the movie had successfully poisoned him.
"You have nothing to do with it!"
Sasuke returned to his normal expression.
He mixed the wrapped magazine into those books so that Yiyong would be able to see it as long as he opened it, and he would save himself from being discovered by his mother if he left it at home.
I hope... that men's magazine, inscribed by Jiraiya himself, highly regarded in Konoha, and even the uncles of the Konoha Guard have a copy, can correct Giyuu's aesthetics!
However, when he turned his head, he saw Uzumaki Naruto's eyes were red again, and said awkwardly: "Let's go, let's go! I'll accompany you to training. Looking at your look, it's not like Giyuu won't come back..."
On the other side , after Giyuu and Anjuro walked away from each other for a while, it was finally time to separate.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
As soon as the clone composed of the nine-tailed chakra appeared, it immediately turned into a red fox as big as a palm, jumped to the top of Giyuu's head and lay down, closing his eyes without saying anything. , a picture of self-respect.
Giyuu didn't care, but Sasuke's book delivery and the previous trip to the shrine reminded him of something.
He took out a book from his bag, which was Jiraiya's "The Story of Strong Perseverance".
"Xingjuro, if you have a chance, help me take this book to the wilderness of the Rain Country. Let's go to the wooden house I mentioned before."
Giyong handed the book to Anjuro's hand.
"There are three famous names in it. They were all disciples of this author. Just think of it as their spiritual tablets and put this book on it. I'm sorry to bother you." "
I know!"
The two of them embarked on two different paths. After passing the road, Anjuro looked back again: "Yiyong! Take care of yourself!"
"You too."

Chapter 84 Tour guide or ninja?
Chapter 84 Tour guide or ninja?
The morning after Giyuu and Anjuro left Konoha, Uchiha Shisui also set out for the Land of Earth to carry out a top-secret mission related to the Third Tsuchikage Onoki.
Before the sky light illuminated the entire land, Zetsu and Uchiha Obito, the two masterminds who could travel through the terrain at will, sprang out from the gloomy Hokage Rock at the same time and stood above Senju Hashirama. , overlooking this huge village from a high place.
Last night, the two of them had been in this village collecting information all night.
"How could a mere Uzumaki relic make things so difficult for you? Only after he leaves will you dare to come to this village?"
Under the mask, Obito raised the corners of his mouth maliciously.
"You once boasted about such a seaport, saying that it was absolutely impossible to be discovered by anyone.
"But every clone you sent to Konoha to collect intelligence would be missing. What happened in Konoha in the past few years actually depends on the mouse in the dark corner to inform us. It seems that even Uchiha Madara's will will make some mistakes. "
Obito's words are thorny and full of sarcasm.
The heretic demon who can create White Zetsu is now at Nagato's place. Madara left him only a few reconnaissance White Zetsus, and they were all sent out to monitor the Kage or Jinchuuriki of various countries. Every time One less one would be a huge loss for him.
Since the birth of Purgatory Anjuro, the number of White Zetsus has dropped sharply, and it is no longer easy to send them to this village to take risks.
Therefore, Uchiha Obito's response to the Third Hokage The surveillance was interrupted for three years, and a large amount of usable intelligence was lost.
The relationship between Konoha and Uchiha did not continue to deteriorate as he imagined, but gradually became more harmonious, which was also the result of the lack of intelligence.
Now the relationship with Uchiha It would be very troublesome for Obito to use any means to incite the Uchiha rebellion. It would be very troublesome to destroy this clan and weaken Konoha's strength at the same time.
Therefore, Obito put all the blame on Zetsu, the intelligence leader of the Akatsuki organization.
" Even a slight change in a ninja's genes can have an unexpected impact on the ninjutsu he releases, which is beyond anyone's control. "
The one who replied was Black Zetsu with a sinister voice.
He was not angry because of Obito's accusation.
"Normal Kagura's inner eye cannot detect me, otherwise Uzumaki Kushina would have noticed it long ago.
"Although I don't know how this Purgatory Anjuro did it, but since he is no longer in Konoha, just get rid of him."
At this point, he tilted his head thoughtfully.
"Or do you have any plans for him?"
"Didn't Nagato ask Konan to recruit him?"
Obito pondered for a while, then said contemptuously: "They themselves proposed to win over Akatsuki. First person, let's not act rashly.
"From the information Danzo gave us, this guy named Purgatory Anjuro is full of naive ideas and will probably reject them. When he meets Nagato, it means he has information about Yugakure. How could Nagato let him leave safely? Even if he is not killed, he will be detained until he grows up as a substitute for one of the six paths. "
It's possible that he did. "
Black Zetsu said with approval.
Nagato was very picky about Payne's choice of six paths.
Only those who make him look at him differently are qualified to become puppets.
"That's it. If Nagato intends to let him go, we can just interfere. "
Immediately, Hei Zetsu looked in the direction of the Earth Kingdom, with a chilling viciousness in his voice.
"Next, let us concentrate on getting rid of the Shunshen Shisui first.
"It may be a bit troublesome to destroy Uchiha now. But at least Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Fugaku must die." In
this way, every more pair of Mangekyō Sharingan in the world will increase the chance of collecting tailed beasts in the future. variable.
Secondly, once Nagato meets them and is unfortunately defeated and suffered a blow, he will question his own strength and his identity as the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage.
So Black Zetsu and Obito must deal with these two people.
Obito: "Is everything ready in Earth Kingdom?"
Jueyin replied with a smile: "Ah, Onoki has hired Akatsuki. He also spent a lot of money to buy a piece of information about Uchiha Shisui.
"In In that intelligence, I already explained, 'If Uchiha Shisui is allowed to grow, he will be more threatening than Uchiha Madara'. We are serious third-party mercenaries, and Onoki will not doubt that I am exaggerating on purpose.
"What's the use of raising Uchiha Shisui like this? " "
Obito frowned under the mask.
He still felt that he was a bit too careful to never let him deal with Shisui personally.
"It may not be useful to others, but it is perfect for the Third Tsuchikage.
"He is afraid of Madara, just like a frog is afraid of snakes. He will never let the second Madara appear in this world."
Jue said confidently: "Besides, the mission we asked Danzo to assign to Uchiha Shisui is It was aimed at Ōnoki. Back then Ōnoki asked tens of thousands of people to besiege the Third Raikage and it took him three days and three nights to kill him. This time he will not let Uchiha Shisui go easily. Although we don't know Uchiha Shisui yet What exactly is the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique, but he can't use these eyes for free like you, what he will face... will be a situation of death and no life!"
Jue already sentenced Shisui to death.
"I'm really looking forward to it. What kind of eyes are these. Although I still can't see this meaningless world, I can at least contribute to burying it."
When Obito said this, there was no trace of anything. of regret.
"You called me because this plan requires me to do something?"
"That's right. It's a crucial step."
Jue said his plan.
"You go and control the defection of the four-tailed Jinchuuriki, making Ohnoki think it was Uchiha Shisui's doing, and strengthen your determination to kill him."
"What about Kirigakure?" Obito's voice suddenly became cold and hard, hiding The anger deep down is ready to explode.
With Hashirama's cells, his pupil power can continue to recover, but the total amount is limited. Obito couldn't control two pairs of tailed beasts and jinchūriki at the same time. To control a new tailed beast, you have to give up the other one.
And because of Lin's incident, Obito's revenge against Kirigakure is far from over, and he doesn't want to let them go like this.
"The five major kingdoms still need to maintain a certain balance for Akatsuki to play its role. The strength of the Water Kingdom is now less than half of what it was before you controlled the Fourth Mizukage, and your revenge is almost over. I will send Bai Zetsu to tell Gansaki Kisame, let him arrange for Yagura to kill Loquat Juuzang, and then let Yagura and the Three-Tails die together at the hands of Orochimaru to give Kirigakure some breathing space."
Like a parent, Jue taught earnestly: "This is the best arrangement. Now that you are bearing Madara's name, don't act out of emotion." "I
understand without you having to say it."
A vortex emerged from the right eye of Obito's mask. , absorbing itself and disappearing without a trace.
Obviously in his heart, his revenge against Kirigakure was far from enough to express the anger and hatred in his heart.
But in order to complete the Eye of the Moon project, he had to put his personal tendencies aside.
"He's still the same kid as before, he hasn't grown up at all."
Bai Jue on the left said with a smile, not sure whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm.
"It's just that there is no progress."
After Hei Jue said this, he sank into the shadow rock, leaving no trace.
The next moment, the morning sun rose over the distant mountain peaks, dyeing the place where they were just a bright orange.
That night.
After nearly thirty hours of non-stop traveling, Giyuu took the squirrel-sized Kyuubi through most of the Fire Country and the entire Yu Country, and finally arrived at the ninja's holiday paradise - Yu Ninja Village.
Yunin Village is a tourist town close to the coast and rich in geothermal and hot spring resources.
Compared with Konoha, not only is its location not at all hidden, but even the surrounding wall of the village is only three or four meters high.
Giyuu stood on the roof, looking at the crowded streets below. He felt that this place was less like a Ninja Village and more like Asakusa Street in Tokyo during the New Year.
At this time, a scent that he had never smelled before entered the nose of the nine tails on top of Yiyong's head.
After not speaking for two days and one night, it no longer pretended to be dead and raised its head lightly.
It looked down along the scent. There happened to be a shop selling grilled octopus on the side of the street, and its eyes suddenly brightened several degrees.
But on the contrary, Yiyong didn't feel anything at all and immediately walked towards the pier on the seaside.
"Hey!" Kyuubi grabbed a piece of Giyuu's hair with each front paw, like grabbing the control stick of a fighter jet, and pulled hard.
For the past thirty hours, Kyuubi has been waiting for this brat to take the initiative to talk to him. But it didn't expect that even though Giyuu was awake, he was even quieter than Uzumaki Naruto when he was asleep, making him bored and not much different from being locked in a cage.
"What's the matter?"
The stinging pain on the top of his head made Yiyong stop and his eyes drift upward, "Did you find anything?"
"I just followed you here for sightseeing, and I didn't say I wanted to help you."
Nine-tailed's pointed head drooped from Yiyong's forehead, "What are you planning to do now?"
Yiyong said matter-of-factly: "Go to the pier to find Ship, and then go to the Kingdom of Water."
The relationship between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Water is quite bad, which can be seen from the fact that they never send anyone to take part in the Chunin Exam. Obviously the Kingdom of Water is directly east of the Kingdom of Fire, but there are no large ships that can cross the strait along the coast of the Kingdom of Fire. Only in the commercially prosperous Yunin can you find the ships in the past.
Jiuwei reluctantly looked at the grilled octopus shop that Giyu passed by: "You have been traveling for thirty hours, don't you want to rest?" "
It's not too late to get on the boat and rest."
Giyu's idea is very simple, no matter where he goes Whether to save people or capture Orochimaru, the sooner the better.
If he didn't have as much chakra as Anjurou, he would even want to directly control the water flow all the way across the sea.
Seeing Giyuu continue to fly non-stop on the roof, Kyuubi quickly said: "But since we are passing by, why don't we have something to eat? In the words of you humans, we have come here!" "We will
eat after we get on the boat!"
Giyuu immediately refused. Kyuubi, there is no intention of discussing it at all.
When Kyuubi heard this, he suddenly became angry and jumped off Giyu's head and landed on the roof.
Jiyong was puzzled and could only look at Kyuubi in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Kyuubi, who was lying on all fours, stared at him fiercely: "Uchiha brat, I agreed to come with you, not because I'm looking for trouble. ! You ran so bumpy and bumpy that I couldn't even sleep. Now I have finally arrived at a lively place. If you don't rest, I have to rest too! A good meal and a hot spring bath. That's what I want to experience. Life!"
"But aren't you a clone?"
"But I just pointed at this clone and came out to enjoy it!"
Kyuubi told the truth. Anjuro put his chakra in his body, and Kyuubi You can only see things outside through chakra, but this one is indeed a clone that can eat and drink. It depends on it if you want to experience the feeling of not being in jail.
"My true body is still sealed in that kid's body, and the connection between chakras can still be maintained. Once I get out of the sea, no matter what I do, my true body won't be able to feel it! Then didn't I come here in vain? !"
Yiyong lowered his eyebrows.
[It seems that if you don't satisfy it, it won't leave. ]
If it weren't for the possibility that he might encounter Kirigakure's Jinchūriki and tailed beasts during this trip, requiring Kyuubi to communicate with each other, Giyuu would regret bringing Kyuubi over.
When he and Kyuubi were facing each other, and they were getting a little tangled, three ninjas wearing Yunin Village forehead protectors jumped up from below, forming a faint triangle and surrounding Giyuu.
They wore loose robes and casual wooden clogs. Their eyes looked sharp, but they exuded a sense of laziness. They looked more like bathhouse guests than ninjas.
"This tourist."
Seeing that Giyong was actually a child, the leader Yu Nin was a little surprised, but he still said seriously: "In Yu Nin Village, it is illegal to walk on the roof. This is a village that advocates peace. All ninjas come here to enjoy a relaxing vacation. If someone passes by on the roof, it will inevitably make the guests feel uneasy."
Kyuubi grinned, suddenly wanting to laugh.
Just when Yiyong thought that things might be troublesome and thought about whether to apologize or not, he saw the ninja smiling strangely again.
"But guest, it should be your first time here and you are young. We can handle this matter as appropriate.
"If you can't find the way, you can ask the ninjas in our village for a fee, five hundred taels a time; if it's two thousand taels, , we can take you there. Of course, it's best..."
As he spoke, he took out a roll of sheepskin knotted with a ribbon.
"Just spend five thousand taels on a tourist map! "
The leader Yu Nin exchanged glances with the two followers, and then said excitedly: "This is a tourist map of Yu Nin Village that I made specially for new guests. It has every shop, restaurant, inn, and every tourist map marked on it. The location of the hot springs, as well as reviews and ratings from guests. With this map, you can avoid wasting money and enjoy the most fulfilling vacation! "
..."
Giyuu was a little overwhelmed by the speed at which these people changed their faces.
One second, he thought these people were going to arrest him and send him to a place similar to the Konoha Guard. But the next second, they started selling him The map is here, and the value of a map is equivalent to a D-level commission.
[It's so expensive.]
However, seeing how friendly they were, Giyuu wanted to refuse directly and continue on his way with Kyuubi.
But he didn't expect it. Unexpectedly, Kyuubi suddenly jumped on Giyuu's shoulder and said mischievously: "Hey! Don't you understand yet? They said before that you had broken the law, and they also said that the punishment would be discretionary, which means that the more money you spend, the lighter the punishment will be for you! If you buy a map, nothing will happen! "
As it said, it proudly raised its head and glanced around the three of them: "How about it, I'm right! "
Anyway, it really wanted this map.
The two young Tang ninjas were a little embarrassed when they saw that they were exposed by a fox in front of them, but the leader of the Tang ninjas still had a smile on his face and was not affected at all. Meaning.
"This guest, your talking fox companion is so smart. "
After hearing this, Yiyong had no expression on his face, but there was a little bit of resentment in his heart.
With such a rule, why not remind him when he entered the village? Isn't it common sense to walk on the roof...
"Then let's do it Zhang. "He reluctantly paid for it.
After accepting that he was a real Uchiha, Giyuu never missed the New Year's money in the past few years. He had a total of hundreds of thousands.
If he didn't buy the map, he would have to pay for it in order not to be imprisoned. If you get up, you can only knock these people out, which is obviously not suitable.
"Okay! Thank you for your patronage! "
The soup ninja immediately acted like a hawker, and asked while collecting the money: "Seeing that you are in such a hurry, where are you going? "
Even the title became "you".
"I'm looking for a boat to go to sea. "
"oh? ! "The Tang Ren's eyes brightened again.
"Then you are late! An hour ago, the last ship out to sea today had left the harbor at sunset. If you want to go to sea again, you can only wait until there is a boat tomorrow morning! "
Kyuubi's smile almost reached his ears, while Giyuu was obviously a little surprised.
[It was obviously a bad thing, why was he smiling so happily?]
"Since you can't leave until tomorrow, it's best to find a family in the village today. Stay at the hotel. "
The Yunin pointed at the map, "Here are all the hotels in the village. Do you want to stay in one with an independent hot spring, or an ordinary one-" Before
Giyuu could say anything, Kyuubi immediately spoke first: "I want to stay in The kind with an independent hot spring! It's better to be closer to this street!"
[It seems that today, I can eat a grilled octopus no matter what! ]
[However, it's not bad to take a hot spring bath first! ]
Tang Ren clapped his hands enthusiastically, pointed to a store on the map and said: "Then this store is just right for you! I will take you there now. Since it is your first time here, I can't We charge a fee for showing the way."
Yiyong looked at it carefully and saw that this store had a perfect score of 10.
He sighed silently.
[Since I can't leave today, let's grant this fox's wish. ]
Yiyong only hopes that tomorrow's search for the ship heading to the Kingdom of Water will be a little smoother.
It just so happens that tonight I can make up for the moon breathing practice that I missed yesterday.
One person and one fox followed Tang Ninja along the crowded streets. Not only did they pass casinos and taverns along the way, they also had to stop and wait for a parade of oirans to pass by. In short, this must be a village that scorns the Three Rings of Ninja.
"This is it!"
The soup ninja led the two of them to the door of a remote shop and immediately shouted: "Dad! A customer is coming!"
Yiyong and the fox looked at each other and instantly understood the soup. The reason why I can't bear to charge tolls.
at the same time.
A team of twelve people was quietly landing on the beach outside Yunin Village.
They were of different sizes and looked a little strange, but each of them had a fierce cold light in their eyes.
"Remember Mizukage-sama's instructions! As long as you catch that brat, you can coerce Oniteng Mangetsu to hand over the psychic scroll of the seven ninja swords, and let him take the initiative to be killed! Even if Yu Ninja Village turns into a mountain of corpses today, We must find him in the sea of blood!"
"Yes!"

Chapter 85 Ghost Lantern (Part 1)
Chapter 85 Ghost Lantern (Part 1)
Backyard of Hot Spring Hotel.
The pear trees are thick with fragrance, and the moonlight is like water.
Although this hotel is in a remote corner of the food court, it is located upwind near the seaside.
Therefore, whether it is the noisy hawking noise on the street or the smell of various fried and barbecued foods, it cannot disturb the guests living inside, making it appear quiet and elegant.
The only drawback is that the treacherous boss here, like his son who is a ninja, is the type of person who pays attention to others. He specially allocated a courtyard with a "children's hot spring" to Yiyong.
If an adult sits in the hot spring, he can only squat in it with his knees bent like a big dog. The size is smaller than the bathtub in Yiyong's house.
But for Kyuubi, who is only the size of a palm, it is a paddling pool that can be used for backstroke repeatedly.
Kyuubi poked his pointed little head out of the hot spring, and grabbed the ice-cold drink straw placed on the edge of the "paddling pool" with his thin fangs, biting the mouth of the tube into a pit.
A mouthful of cold drink poured into the body down its throat. It half-closed its eyes and let out a happy sigh like Mouri Kogoro's.
"Hmm! It's so comfortable!"
It was quite bitter to say it.
Before being subdued by Uchiha Madara, it had never looked down upon humans and was too lazy to try their entertainment methods.
But when he was captured by Senju Hashirama and imprisoned in the Jinchuriki's belly for more than fifty years, even breathing outside air became a luxury.
Although his traveling companion on this trip was not talkative and lackluster in character and bloodline, this was the first time in half a century that Kyuubi had come to a place so far away from Konoha.
Although it uses someone else's body, the sensory enjoyment is not false. The depression caused by thirty hours of boring travel is finally released.
It put its furry, wet head on the rocks at the edge of the hot spring and lay there for a while, but did not hear any movement in the room before slowly opening its eyes.
He hesitated for a while before shouting: "Uchiha brat! Do you want to come with me?"
[It's hard for that brat to be my mount, so just think of me as being extra merciful! Hum! Most people don't have such an honor. ]
However, there was only silence in response to Kyuubi's rare kindness.
There was no response from Yiyong's direction, but there was no sign of any malice either.
[You probably didn't ignore me on purpose. That kid...what on earth is he doing? ]
Kyuubi frowned humanely and crawled out of the hot spring. The steaming chakara on his body immediately dried his hair, making it look fluffy and soft, like a change of clothes.
He walked quietly to the room.
There, Yiyong changed into looser clothes and was sitting cross-legged at the table, his head lowered and not making any sound.
As for the desk, there is a map of the Kingdom of Water drawn by Konoha's reconnaissance team, but there are only a few rough places with special markings on it. The location of Kirigakure Village only has an exaggerated circle and a question mark. That is A place where Konoha ninjas have never been.
If Kyuubi hadn't observed carefully and saw that Giyuu's body was rising and falling slightly at a very low frequency, it would have thought that the kid had died in some accident.
"Asleep?"
Kyuubi flicked his tail, but he wasn't surprised at all.
"After running for thirty hours, how can a mere human being bear this?"
It snorted strangely: "We ran so hard, but we still missed the boat. I came to this village and didn't enjoy it. I don't know how to run so fast. What's the point?"
As he spoke, Kyuubi synchronized the memory of the tailed beast chakra in Anjurou's body as if he remembered something, and his expression became even more gloomy.
"It's almost the same over there! I think you might as well just tire yourself out!"
Maybe it's because the word "death" was included in his last sentence, which touched Yiyong's sensitive vocabulary. De Yiyong woke up leisurely and raised his head.
He looked at Kyuubi with anxious eyelids: "Have you finished soaking?"
For the first time, Kyuubi felt a little guilty in his heart for waking up Yiyong.
But this feeling was immediately dispelled by its stubborn nature.
"That's all. I thought it would be very comfortable!"
it replied insincerely.
"..."
Yiyong was not interested in hot springs in the first place, and even less so now.
He was silent for a while and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was now nine o'clock in the evening.
Jiyong withdrew his gaze and stared at Kyuubi's stillness, which made the latter slightly twitchy. It wasn't until Kyuubi was about to bar his teeth that he asked: "Kyuubi, you are here, is there anything else you want to do? ?"
[Huh? ]
"What do you mean?"
Jiuwei looked at him suspiciously, "This doesn't seem like a question you would ask." "
I was just thinking, if it were me who had been imprisoned for more than fifty years, I wouldn't be able to go anywhere. I also want to see the outside world."
Giyuu narrated calmly, thinking about Anjurou's words before he left to let him and Kyuubi get along well.
This should be the so-called thinking from Kyuubi's point of view.
"What is this?"
Kyuubi wrinkled his nose fiercely.
"Kid, are you pitying me?!"
[It's not Uchiha Madara who caused me to be like this! ]
"What's so pitiful about you?"
Jiyong's answer surprised Kyuubi, and he continued to describe his thoughts.
"I just hope you can eat and play whatever you want tonight.
"When we go out to sea tomorrow, you can either stay with me honestly or get rid of the clone.
"I don't have the extra attention to focus on restraining you. It will only waste precious time." "
As expected, you are still the same annoying brat!"
Kyuubi snorted coldly.
"Without me, do you think you can come back from the Kingdom of Water alive? There are two of my companions in that village. Since you want my help, is there anything wrong with meeting my needs? We are originally from different sides. Just take what you need."
[Although I didn't have a good relationship with them before, these two guys have a very gentle temper. ]
"Whether I can leave alive is not my priority."
Yiyong gently stroked his sleepy eyes, looking less tired than before.
"If because of your wanton behavior, I have to distract myself, causing the rescue operation to be delayed and someone to be killed, then I would rather commit seppuku after the incident is over and die to apologize." He said very clearly
. It was casual, but Kyuubi only felt a chill on his back, followed by chills all over his body.
"Tonight is a special situation. There are no ships going out to sea, so I will stay here.
"But if you plan to go to the Kingdom of Water, you have to put your own sensory enjoyment as the top priority like before, and interfere with it. My actions, after tonight, you can release the clone on your own, I can't take you there. You will only become trouble. "
Kyuubi was so angry that he really wanted to die on the spot.
"Since you think I am a trouble, why are you talking about it? After tonight, do it now and expose this clone. I'm of no use to you anyway, right? Why bother?
"Aren't you going to enjoy yourself tonight? " "
This time it was Yiyong's turn to be confused, "Even if you have to release the shadow clone tomorrow, all the feelings and memories tonight will be brought to the original body, right? Do you want to come here in vain? It's already here, isn't it what you said? "
..."
Kyuubi finally understood.
Here, it is using itself to help Yiyong in exchange for the opportunity to play, so the two things are actually the same thing.
But in this kid's mind, take him out Playing and asking him to help are two independent events, and there is no exchange relationship.
I don't know why, this kid's words are obviously very irritating, but he is not treated as a tool, and he still feels warm in his heart.
[Although they are the same race as that bastard, there are still some differences after all. ]
"Who wants you to pretend to be kind!"
It flicked its tail, rolled its eyes, and suddenly had an idea.
"Then let's make a promise! Tonight, you can buy me whatever I want to eat, and you can play with me whatever I want to play. When we get to the Kingdom of Water, I won't be able to feel anything I do anyway, so How about following your orders?"
"No problem."
Yiyong agreed immediately.
"Okay!" Kyuubi excitedly swept away the papers with his tail, "Then let's go shopping now!"
One person and one fox went out together.
When they came to the street outside, they were all a little lucky.
It was now approaching late at night, and half of the tourists had returned to their respective hotels to drink or take a bath in hot springs. The streets were much emptier than before.
Kyuubi grabbed Giyuu's hair and directed him all the way to the barbecue shop he longed for, and ordered a grilled octopus coated with sauce.
Although the current Kyuubi is only a little bigger than a palm, it is a bottomless pit of chakra, and it can easily get rid of the food.
In the next two hours, Jiuwei ordered a large number of strange-looking marine fish along the street. He took a bite of each one, keeping the delicious ones for himself and throwing the unpalatable ones to Giyuu. When passing by a store selling decorations, it retaliated and bought a card with donkey ears for Yiyong to wear. However, when he found that Yiyong had no hesitation or displeasure at all, he became unhappy again and changed the donkey ears into one. For fox ears...
When they passed by a candy-making stall, Jiuwei asked the stall owner to pinch a yellow tanuki for him.
But after getting the thing, Jiuwei did not eat the candy man, but trampled the tanuki to pieces in front of the stall owner, and burst into bursts of hearty laughter, which forced Yiyong to apologize.
In this way, after eating, drinking and having fun for a while, the bright moon in the sky was gradually obscured by thick clouds.
Yiyong was a little worried, fearing that the rain would interfere with the boat going out to sea.
Kyuubi, on the other hand, was a little disinterested. It knew it was time to go back to the hotel.
"Wait a minute!"
When passing by an alley, Kyuubi called to Giyuu, and his face became serious as he lay on top of the latter.
"Do you have anything else to buy?"
"No, this time it's something useful to you."
Kyuubi commanded arrogantly, "Go forward along this path."
He grabbed Giyu's hair and moved forward. With a push, the latter walked all the way to the end, and unexpectedly found a stall outside a souvenir shop.
What is on the stall is not the specialty of Yunin Village, but the special weapons all over the place - kunai, shuriken, ninja sword, katana, spear, sickle and so on.
"Guest, please take a look."
The merchants in Tangren Village were very polite and did not treat him differently just because he was a child.
Yiyong looked at these products carefully.
They are not the polished, cold-gleaming new ones found in Konoha ninja shops.
On the contrary, the weapons sold at the stalls were either rusty and curled, or were bent and broken. None of them were intact. At first glance, they looked like they had gone through many vicissitudes of life and were weather-beaten, and they looked like they were from a certain age.
"Are these souvenirs from this village?"
Yiyong asked the boss doubtfully.
Didn't you say that this is a village that advocates peace?
"They are souvenirs, but they have nothing to do with Yunin Village."
The owner of the store quickly introduced: "These were picked up from various famous battlefields when I traveled around the world in the past few years. They are all ninjas who died in the war. It's a relic. Some people like this kind of objects, as if they can see what the battlefields of the past were like through them."
"That's it."
Yiyong suddenly understood.
"That sword."
At this time, Kyuubi pointed at a sheathed katana with his tail.
Yiyong followed its instructions, picked up the knife, put it in front of him, and slowly unsheathed the knife in a formal manner.
An obvious sense of ominousness came from the sword, and Yiyong frowned.
"This is..."
"There is a rhinoceros... that is, the breath of the Six-Tails left on it."
Kyuubi whispered in Giyuu's ear: "This sword should have injured the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, or maybe it was with the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki. I have had direct contact with the Vulpix's jutsu. Buy it and wait until I get to the Kingdom of Water. If I still can't contact them because of the seal, I can at least use this sword to find the Vulpix."
Giyu slowly opened his eyes, The head said: "Thank you."
This was an unexpected surprise.
If all the Jinchuuriki stayed in the village like Naruto, then Kyuubi would at least be able to find the location of Kirigakure Village through this thing.
Kyuubi didn't respond, but it was quite satisfying to see the proud look on his face.
"How much does this knife cost?"
Yiyong asked the boss.
"You have really good vision! I picked up this knife at the beach. It must have rushed from the direction of the Kingdom of Water."
The boss pulled out the blade. "Although there are some gaps on it, it is a chakra weapon after all. Generally only jounin can afford it, and the person who owns it may be one of the seven ninja swordsmen. If you want to buy it, one hundred thousand."
"Chakra weapon?"
Giyuu understood, and looked at This knife can not only be used to find the location of Kirigakure Village, but can also be used temporarily for combat. Otherwise, he can only use his hands every time he switches to Breath of Fire, and the attack range is too short.
"Then one hundred thousand yuan."
After Yiyong handed over the money, he suddenly only had the last twenty thousand yuan left.
"I have to save some money for the boat trip tomorrow."
After walking out of the alley, Giyuu said to Kyuubi in a negotiating tone, "I can't buy
any more things." It was clear that Kyuubi had agreed to buy him everything he wanted. He didn't expect that he would change his mind so soon, and Yiyong felt a little ashamed.
"Then why don't you negotiate the price?"
Kyuubi said complainingly at first, then returned to lie down on top of Giyuu's head.
"I just happened to be tired from playing, so let's go back."
"Thank you."
This was the second time Yiyong thanked it today, and Kyuubi raised the corners of his mouth proudly.
But the next moment, it suddenly looked behind Yiyong. There was an inexplicable wave of malice directed at Yiyong, but because it was not serious and did not reach the point of killing, it did not remind him.
A burst of fast but light footsteps pattered behind Yiyong. Soon, the fast running man came to Yiyong.
Kyuubi watched carefully.
It was a young man with a mouth full of tiny fangs, short and medium white hair, and wearing tight-fitting short sleeves.
When he passed by Yiyong, he grabbed the knife in Yiyong's hand and grinned at Yiyong: "Handsome guy! This knife may have belonged to one of my idols before! I'll take it first!"
After that, he turned confidently Head, run away with a knife.
However, as Yiyong stopped in place, he also stood there unable to move. The knife in Yiyong's hand did not move at all.
"Uh..."
The white-haired boy, knowing that he was in trouble, turned his head with a smile on his face and quickly moved his hand away from Yiyong's knife.
"I said this was a misunderstanding, do you believe it or not?"
